Lancome Wrinkle Concentrate |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Lancome Resolution Wrinkle Concentrate is a formula marketed towards women that may, according to the company’s description of the product, prevent the development of wrinkles and eliminate existing wrinkles. Advertisements claim the product may enable women to “defy wrinkles for a youthful look.” It may also promote a smoother skin tone.
There may be many similar products on the market, especially those advertised towards women, but not all of them may deliver promised results. We feel women should make smarter purchasing decisions by learning more about what is and isn’t promising in the cosmetics industry. We will examine this product closely to find out what its pros and cons may be.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
Unfortunately, a full list of ingredients may not be available for this product at time of review. This would be because an official website does not appear to exist at this time. While some retailers’ websites may provide some product descriptions, none of those we find provide any relevant information about what the formulation may be.
We are led to speculate that some of the ingredients in the topical solution may include Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Citric Acid, Glycolic Acid and other similar substances. Any combination of these components may be found in many anti-wrinkle formulas on the market, though we find they aren’t necessarily considered high-end ingredients.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Beta Hydroxy Acid may be especially popular among developers of skincare products, considering they are believed to have some degree of moisturizing and hydrating effects on the skin. Some proponents claim this duo may go deep down into the skin and remove dead skin cells. Still, we are not convinced that these are the best available anti-aging agents.
In our research, we have found that the most promising anti-aging agents include Matrixyl 3000®, Hyaluronic Acid, Argireline® and fresh Collagen. A formula that blends these ingredients is likely to reverse and prevent signs of aging at a deeper level of the skin. Unfortunately, given this void, we believe this product may not perform as well as expected.

| Lifestyle |
Women concerned about using a product that may affect their lifestyle adversely may wish to make sure they know exactly what ingredients have been included in the product’s formula. When it comes to applying topical solutions to the skin, women may be aware of all the things that may go wrong: over-drying, peeling, redness and irritation, for example.
We note that usage instructions for this product may not be posted online at retailers’ websites. This concerns us, because some women may use this product in a way that was not intended. In general, topical solutions like the one in question are recommended for daily use – once in the morning and again at night – but it may be hard to know for sure with this product.

| Final Thoughts |
Lancome Resolution Wrinkle Concentrate may be advertised as one of the most potent anti-wrinkle products on the market, but we believe there may be other, more worthwhile alternatives at the higher end of the industry. Some of these high-quality formulations may consist of premium ingredients, like Matrixyl 3000®, Argireline®, Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen.
This combination of ingredients has been tested in clinical trials for effectiveness, safety and consistency. We find that so many anti-aging creams have some benefits, but the pros are often overshadowed by the cons. Unfortunately, the product in question may not have undergone rigorous clinical testing. Consumer testimonials may also be lacking. There are premium skin care products available online that are supported by numerous customer testimonials and a complete money-back guarantee.
